Thinning seedlings

The radishes now have two weeks growth and it was time to thin the seedlings so they weren't too close.

I couldn't help but feel sad as I pulled these little beginnings from the ground. But it had to be done so the others would have enough space to thrive.

I thought I would cut the extras close to the ground but when I gave a gentle tug they pulled out roots and all. I will say that the pulled radish seedlings did not go to waste as the chickens ate them happily.
